Heat shield

[e55]

Hi all,

The heat shield on my car for the back box is loose and noisy. I have tried to secure it a few times but it keeps coming loose.

Its obviously there for a reason but is it ok just to remove it so its no longer loose and noisey?

I have not had a look down there myself but I took the car to a local garage and he secured it with some type of clip. The mechanic did say that the heat shield would probably come loose again but he tried his best with the clips to secure it. He did say if it came loose again I would probably need a new heat shield so I am guessing areas of the heat shield where the clips are used are also damaged as well.
